If you can’t get broadband?

Around 166,000 people in the UK are stuck in rural broadband ‘not spots’ and a further two million in rural areas have inadequate broadband.

In rural communities, broadband deals through phone lines, 3G/4G or satellites. These are usually slower and more restrictive than their equivalents in towns and cities, and they’re almost always more expensive.

It is possible to bypass the system using Rural Fibre and Mobile Broadband, and many communities are choosing to do just that, often ending up with some of the UK’s fastest connections.

As you might expect, the big problem for rural areas is signal quality.
